If you are thinking about moving to AWS, or you are simply trying to get your current infrastructure under control, you have probably come across the term "AWS Proof of Concept", often shortened to "AWS POC".
What is AWS Proof of Concept?
The AWS Proof of Concept (POC) program is designed to help customers and partners validate both the technical side of an architecture and the business processes behind it on the AWS cloud platform. The program:
- provides access to AWS resources, tools and expertise so that customers and partners can accelerate their deployment,
- helps make customers successful by providing guidance and best practices from AWS Solutions Architects.
Amazon itself acknowledges that the move to AWS is not easy. AWS services are extremely powerful, but they are hard to configure correctly and very easy to misconfigure.
Who is the AWS POC program for?
The AWS POC program is a great way for customers and partners to get started with AWS. It gives you access to everything you need to build and validate your infrastructure on AWS:
- A dedicated POC environment inside your own AWS account
- A team of AWS Solutions Architects to help you plan, build and run your proof of concept
- Guidance and best practices from AWS Solutions Architects
- The option to extend the POC into a production environment on AWS
Ideally your organization builds its AWS POC and then moves it into production, avoiding many of the common problems that come with standing up new infrastructure.
